Dock Maintenance Repair

Dock Maintenance Repair


Loading docks generally perform day in and day out, so why consider a preventative maintenance program?
Because dock failure is always inconvenient and potentially dangerous.
Okay the photo may be an extreme example but pit style levelers need to be cleaned out regularly, if for no other reason than to keep out rodents.
